Powers/Abilities: They have pointed teeth, antennae,
two digits on each limb, and they carry hand-held energy blasters. They have at
least two thin wings, enabling their flight.

Traits: The Kronos are green-skinned semi-humanoid
insectoids. They are referred to as distant cousins of Bug's people within the
same Insectivorid race. They are described as warlike.

History: (Micronauts I#26/2 (fb) - BTS) - The Kronos and
Phobos races served Baron Karza in his plot to conquer the Microverse.

(Micronauts Annual#2 (fb) - BTS) - Professor Prometheus learned of the Kronos.
As the Toymaster, he created robot Kronos.

(Micronauts Annual#2 - BTS) - A robot Kronos was one of those
sent by the Toymaster to assault the X-Men. It drove Bug off of a display
counter and into a water tank, after which it was assaulted by a Sharkos
replica. The Toymaster and his Microverse replicas were ultimately defeated by
the Micronauts.

(Micronauts I#26/2 (fb) - BTS) - As Baron Karza took control
of Force Commander (Argon), ruler of Homeworld, there was a resurgence of evil
throughout the Microverse. On Kaliliklak, the warlike Kronos and Phobos races
began to defy Queen Esmera's imperial edicts from the Great Nest.

(Micronauts I#26/2 - BTS) - Queen Esmera reported the Kronos
and Phobos' defiance to the Planetary Council of the Microverse.

(Micronauts I#28/2 - BTS) - One of Karza's Faceless Priests
opened a portal between the Microverse and Earth dimensions to transport Karza's
forces past the Spacewall that they might carry the battle to Earth. Kronos (or
Phobos) and Reptos were amongst the forces transported across the portal; they
joined forces with Karza's allies in Hydra, fighting S.H.I.E.L.D. and the
Micronauts. Karza was ultimately defeated and his forces sent back to the
Microverse.

Comments: Adapted by Bill Mantlo and Steve Ditko.

Kronos were toys in the Mego Micronaut line, and they were
adapted to the Marvel Multiverse in the pages of Micronauts.

The Phobos were mentioned once as another race on Kaliklak
that had served Karza in the past. In the Microverse, Phobos usually refers to
the Phobos unit robots, used by Karza. The Phobos units were Mego toys. However,
until I hear differently, I'm considering the Phobos as another race on Kaliklak,
somewhat similar in appearance to the Kronos.
For the record, the toy of the Kronos looks closer to the
Phobos:
